Tobolsk Abalak Field Festival in Tobolsk/Abalak
The Abalak Field festival is a historical reenactment event held at the Abalak tourist complex near Tobolsk, Tyumen Oblast. Confirmed as real through its inclusion, alongside the Tobolsk Tatar heritage festival Isker-Zhien, in the top 200 of Russia's National Calendar of Events, though detailed program information could not be independently verified.
Tobolsk carries an outsized place in Russian history for a city its size: founded in 1587, it became the first Russian administrative capital of Siberia, the gateway city through which Cossack forces, traders and settlers moved eastward across the continent.
